I’m just not feeling like myself! This is the battle cry of the perimenopausal woman. 

In The New Perimenopause: An Evidence-Based Guide to Surviving the Zone of Chaos and Feeling Like Yourself Again, Dr. Mary Claire Haver—a board-certified OB/GYN, Certified Menopause Provider, and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, The New Menopause—explains everything a woman needs to know to thrive during the often-misdiagnosed and medically ignored perimenopausal years. 

Though menstrual cycle changes and the emotional rollercoaster that accompanies them are the hallmarks of the transition to menopause, many women with regular periods as young as 35 can also experience symptoms that include anxiety, fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, sexual issues, and volatile moods. 

In The New Perimenopause, Dr. Haver offers science-backed explanations of what’s going on in your body, questions for your doctor and how to insist on good care, and the latest research on the benefits and side effects of progesterone therapy to help ease your hormonal transition.

Dr. Haver will be in conversation with Emmy Award-winning journalist Norah O’Donnell, a CBS News’ Senior Correspondent and 60 Minutes contributor, and the author of the New York Times bestseller We the Women.
